The Laughing

Kookaburra

One may well wonder – a recital of contemporary Australian music on early keyboards performed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Broken Hill, Outback Australia.

Making her international debut at the Geelvinck Fortepiano Festival in Amsterdam in October playing harpsichord and square piano, Diana is delighted to present the same program in Broken Hill ( renowned as an artistic hub) on a beautiful Lipp piano at Broken Hill Art Gallery – a recital of music based on folksong and dance by Ann Carr-Boyd, Elena Kats-Chernin, May Howlett and others.
 
In other events for the Geelvinck Festival, Diana will pair with festival director Michael Tsalka in programs devoted to Multiple Keyboards and The Contemporary, present a workshop on the challenges of playing contemporary music on early keyboards, and, in a special broadcast, go live to air on Dutch national radio.
Broken Hill Art Gallery, Broken Hill Sep 4 2016, 6 pm.
